Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Steven G. Cameron]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

On two different machines, configured similarly, but not exactly the same -- after using Firefox for a few minutes -- going forwards and backwards, browsing in a rather normal fashion, Firefox crashes -- and unfortunately to the degree that it's impossible for me to discover why (it allows no reporting nor bug fix but pushes -- disappears entirely.  Will not then reload without crashing again... Quite frustrating.  Has occurred only since installing builds .10 and .11 -- not sure at all how/why.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use in normal fashion
2. select link
3. go forward or backward (use webmail, which refreshes page)
Actual Results:  
Not entirely clear, sorry.  Just pauses, seems to hang, then crashes -- wont allow me to select either report or debug -- then disappears and will not come back up.  Suprised that it's allowing me to finish this form.

Expected Results:  
Same as above

Continue to function normally -- allow forward/back button use; screen refresh while using webmail package...

Steven, is this still a problem with Firefox 2.0.0.14 ? Can you provide a Talkback ID ?

Problem has now -- for unknown reasons, ended.  No more problems to report. STill do not know why it occurred.
